A Napkin AI alternative for whole stories
If you need a whole page explained, not one diagram for one passage, Infograph turns all of your text into a scrolling visual story with every number taken from it.
Napkin AI makes an editable diagram from a passage you select. Plans and prices below were checked on napkin.ai on 6 November 2026.

Before and after: a page on the water cycle
Before: a page of text, as pasted
The water cycle: where a drop goes The Sun warms the sea and water evaporates as invisible vapour. As the vapour rises it cools and condenses into droplets, which form clouds. Clouds release rain and snow, often over high ground. The water runs downhill into rivers, lakes and groundwater, and flows back to the sea. A drop does not move at the same speed everywhere. On average it spends about 9 days in the air, about 3 months in a river, about 50 years in a large lake and about 3,200 years in the ocean. About 97% of Earth’s water is in the oceans, about 2% is frozen in ice and glaciers, and about 1% is everything else.

What Napkin AI is great at
Napkin AI turns text you select into editable diagrams, flowcharts and mind maps. You work inside your own writing, pick a passage and get a visual for that idea. Then you edit the diagram until it fits.
When to pick Napkin AI
Pick it when you are writing a doc, a post or a deck and need one clear diagram for one idea. If you want to shape each box and arrow yourself, an editable diagram is the right tool.
Where Infograph differs
Infograph starts from the same place, your text, but makes a different thing.
- The whole text, not one passage. Paste an article, an AI answer or your notes, and you get a story from start to end, with each part in the shape that explains it.
- Numbers from your source. Infograph removes any figure your text does not contain, and keeps the source attached so you can check each card.
- Made to be shared. Send a link or an embed, or export a carousel, a PDF or a video.
